Heard this one in the playground last week

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Lady I assume was mum calling "dan" which sounded mire like "den"

Then the little guys mate turned up shouting "hi Denver"

Different, but I don't think I would would use it.

In my area of rural Wales,we have a Hudson,Diesel,Jersey,Armani,Chanel,and Chardonnay!!

I like it. Brings back fond memories. Denver is one of my favourite places to visit too.

There was a Madison in Ds class

Prickwillow has a certain charm.

Denver, the last dinosaur! He's my friend and a whole lot more!

Children I know:
Paris, London, Dallas, Montana, Dakota, Denali, Alabama, Adelaide, Sydney, Austin, Chyna, Devon/Devin, Georgia, India, Jordan, Ireland, several Siennas, Kenyas, Asias and Savannahs.

Isn't it problematic because often place names are after people so some of these have always been names. And often the meanings of names are "from the place. Dallas for a boy, for example, is Scottish Gaelic. And whilst not exactly common, certainly not uncommon either. It means something to do with waterfalls if memory serves.

I agree that some of these are ridiculous though. .

Just spat my coffee out laughing! I have family in Thetford, would never be as cruel to name a child that

In DDs class there is a Princess!

I used to work with "mystery" and "precious"
(Not at the same time...)

I met a zai-ear-ah once (sorry, no idea on sp)
Several India/Indiana
A couple of devons

Years ago there was an American woman on Usenet (called Georgia) who named her many children after towns & cities in the US state of Georgia: Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, etc. It actually worked incredibly well.

I know two Denvers. They are both men in their late 50s.

I grew up in Georgia, lljkk. I hoped she stopped before she got to Enigma.

That name you couldn't spell pp is probably Zaire.I quite like it.
